Exhibit 402: Cheney's Notes on Wilson's Op-Ed Article
Below is a clipping of Joseph Wilson's New York Times op-ed piece, published July 6, 2003. Wilson's article challenges the administration's public characterization of intelligence about alleged Iraqi attempts to buy uranium in Africa. The clipping shows Vice President Cheney's handwritten notes: "Have they done this sort of thing before? Send an Amb. to answer a question? Do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? Or did his wife send him on a junket?" Wilson's wife is Valerie Plame, who worked for the CIA.

They read, in part, "Not going to protect one staffer + sacrifice the guy the Pres [the words "the Pres" were crossed out by Cheney] that was asked to stick his neck in the meat grinder because of the incompetence of others."

On the second page of the document, her handwritten notes list the administration's options in response to a disputed section in President Bush's 2003 State of the Union address. Tom Blanton of the National Security Archive at George Washington University says, "These are their spin options and the pros and cons of putting the vice president on NBC's Meet the Press. Option Two is to leak the information to select reporters, including David Sanger of The New York Times and Walter Pincus of The Washington Post."
